But.. but seeing as Minim is so powerful, I wonder if it could be an option rather than a feature (if you see what I mean) in a future major release? A new alphaGroupSortOptions field in Server Properties could be an option list, so in my case putting "album" in the list would make it sort by the first field in album.sorttags (as initially thought). If its not in the list then it'll sort by the default tag. Or even an option flag in the SortTags field - if true, group will be sorted by the tag too.

Possible?

I would like to get the views of other users on this. In particular, if people want to be able to do this, is it only for alpha-grouping by artist name in the '# albums' list or is there a requirement for other kinds of customized alpha-grouping as well?

OK, I'll point some people I know to here to see what they think too.
